Getting the right drainage

Building over or near a sewer

Building near a public sewer may need permission from the water company. Check before you dig.

Foul or surface water?

Foul (sewage) and surface water often need to go to different places. Check where your drains connect before you order.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Delivery to Arnold: what helps

Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Arnold is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Sizing your order

A 12 m run of 110 mm drain needs 4 pipes in 3 m lengths (or 2 in 6 m lengths), plus a bend or junction at each change of direction and an inspection chamber where your design shows one. Add pea gravel for bedding and surround and we will price the lot together.

Common questions from Arnold

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Arnold?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Can you deliver drainage to a site with restricted access in Arnold?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

What fall should a drain have?

Domestic drains are commonly laid at a gradient around 1:40 to 1:80 depending on the pipe size and flow; follow your approved design or your national drainage guidance (Approved Document H in England and Wales, Technical Handbook section 3 in Scotland, Technical Booklet N in Northern Ireland).

What do I bed drainage pipe in?

Usually pea gravel or a similar granular material around the pipe. We can add it to the order as bulk bags.
